Land Management

Land access can become something of an afterthought in the planning of an exploration program. If neglected or improperly planned, land access issues can have a serious negative impact on the ability to complete exploration programs on time and within budget.

Geos Mining has broad experience in liaising with landholders. With a dedicated Land Manager, who has a strong rural background, Earthworks Supervisor and Senior Geologists with many years of experience, Geos Mining provides access solutions for mineral explorers in all settings of Australia.

Cultural heritage and native title issues, rehabilitation management and continuous communication with stakeholders are all aspects of the Geos Mining exploration management system.

To properly manage landholder liaisons, Geos Mining utilises a customized version of Consultation Manager, also known as Land Manager.

Land Manager offers:

Centralised administration: administering all landholder liaisons from a single interface.

Geographic collaboration: empowering personnel both in the office and project sites to access the system simultaneously.

Time and cost savings: reducing countless hours of effort through the efficiency of data entry, searching and reporting.

Gas Emissions Assessment Reporting

Australian coal mines are required, under the National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting (NGER) Act 2007, to provide up to date reporting of fugitive gas emissions modelling and estimation. Geos Mining provides Gas Emissions Assessment Reporting of open cut coal mines in accordance with the National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting Act 2007 (NGER Act), the National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting Regulation 2008 (NGER Regulation), the National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting (Measurement) Determination 2008 (the Determination) and the ACARP Guidelines for the Implementation of NGER Method 2 or 3 for Open Cut Coal Mine Fugitive GHG Emissions Reporting (ACARP Guidelines).

Data Collection

Geos Mining uses state-of-the-art exploration tools and techniques to ensure that the right information is collected in a cost-effective way. Our database services ensure that the field information is properly stored in a customised database that allows for rapid interpretation of the data.

Field data is obtained through a variety of different field data acquisition programs, each specifically chosen to suit the specified commodity. This may involve field mapping, drilling, geochemical and geophysical surveys.

Geos Mining custom-builds complete database systems to suit clients' current and future data requirements from the outset of a project.

Client Communication

Geos Mining maintains an in-house web based portal which allows staff to log work activities continuously throughout a project. This system provides clients with up-to-date expenditure reports allowing budgets to be constantly monitored against expenditure.

In addition, field reports are emailed to clients on a daily or weekly basis so that the client is fully aware of the work being completed against the agreed budget.
